Purpose
To accept the funding allocation from Lincolnshire County Council as part of the Department for Work and Pension’s Crisis and Resilience Fund to deliver the scheme at a local level.
Decision
· To accept the funding allocation from Lincolnshire County Council as part of the Department for Work and Pension’s Crisis and Resilience Fund 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 to facilitate delivery of the scheme at a local level. This is an indicative total of £779,381 for South Holland.
· To give delegated authority to the Housing and Communities Service Director, following consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holders, to implement and deliver the scheme at a local level in accordance with the CRF Collaboration Agreement.
Reasons for the decision
· Accepting access to this local allocation of Government funding will ensure the Council can support both low-income households who encounter a financial shock and activity that builds individual and community financial resilience.
· The local delivery of the Crisis and Resilience Fund scheme builds on successful delivery of the Household Support Fund partnership approach. South Holland District Council is well placed to deliver CRF locally due to existing links with community, housing and homeless service and established relationships with the local voluntary, community & faith sector partners.
Alternative options considered
· Do nothing and decline the grant. The grant is paid in arrears and there is no requirement to draw down the funding.
· To not utilise the funding would be detrimental to households at a time when many continue to experience financial pressures and is not considered an option.
